Top Comments of this video!! :3
My darling 8 yo is still laying, bless her heart. I can tell by the color and shape which eggs are hers, and those of her flock mates. This isn't so hard when you only have a few (7)- I don't imagine I'll know whose eggs are which when my young layers (15) get rolling. Chickens are just such good animals to have around, pleasant and friendly.

This is a little difficult for me, I have chickens of all different ages in my flock. I keep track of when I bought each one, I buy them in groups of three or more. So I mostly go by age. They are all molting at slightly different times, cycling through their egg cycle at different times, etc. So, even though one hand is not laying at this particular time, she will probably start laying again in a couple weeks. So I go by age mostly. I don’t want to get rid of a chicken just because it’s not the right time in her egg cycle. It also helps to have different breeds of chickens that lay different colored eggs, etc. Then you can take a quick survey, for instance, I have three Easter Eggers that lay green eggs and I can tell pretty quickly when I look if they are laying the eggs or not.

That was a great video! Very useful information and I wondered about this myself. I was looking through your videos to see if you had a simple coop design for someone who has never done construction, building, used any serious tools other than a hammer and screwdriver. Please! Budget friendly would be ideal.
